AN's at the end.. I don't own Sailor Moon. Would Naoko Takeuchi ever picture her
creations as the undead?

I couldn't believe who was standing before me. How... my mind whirled in
circles as I saw the spirit of my mother there. I knew that she had died during that
fire, but I never thought that I would see her again after I left with Endymion. She
was here now, though... standing before me.
"M...Mother..." I could hardly form my words. I felt Endymion move
closer to me, and his mind brushed aganist mine, offering comfort, offering
support. My mother let go of my arm, and the pain vanished as if it had never
been there. I should have known that nothing alive could have snuck up on me.
I never would have guessed that my mother would be there to stop me from
exacting a punishment that was well deserved.
"Serenity... I am glad to see that you are well, daughter. It is not too
unusual to find that you and I arrived to punish your father on the same night.
Although the punishment that you had devised was not something that I would
have ever thought of."
I lowered my head. I felt that I had shamed my mother in my choice of
paths, but she did not look as if she was ashamed of me. Just vaguely amused.
I wondered what she knew. Did she know of the history of Endymion, and what
I now was? Or did she think that my Endymion had saved me from a fate that
ended in death?
"Do not look so worried daughter. I know who Endymion is. You must
think that I did not glance towards your way when I had made my way to the
Summerland. I understand your path, Serenity. I do not blame you for chosing
to be with Endymion instead of walking back on a new chance of life. You knew
in your heart that there was nothing back in this town for you. I knew our paths
would meet again, though."
I nodded weakly, and looked at the sleeping figure of my father on
the bed, then at the cold look in my mother's eyes. Somehow I didn't think that
taking a drink or two from my father would be a suitable enough punishment,
and what my mother had planned for him would stay in his mind for a much
longer point of time. I wished that I hugged my mother, but she only gave me
a brief smile before her attention again focused on my father.
"Serenity, leave now. Spend some time with your beloved, and search
for the one that will lift the darkness." She seemed to waver before me, and I
saw no more as Endymion and I left the room, and left behind the last link to my
past. Forever.
Leda was in shock as she felt the warm kiss of Marcus. It was like
she had remembered, except that Marcus had never been this passionate with
his kisses. He had held them back, the way a proper gentleman of the time
should. Now his lips were warn, and fierce, and Leda suddenly sensed a trap
beneath it all. She wrenched both her and Marcus out of the current time, and
into a point far into the future. She was not even sure where she was, just a
time that was so far removed from her own, that the people would only see it
as a distant point in history.
"Leda... where.. what have you done? Why are we here? Where is
Pallas?" Leda glared at him.
"Why are you so concerned about Pallas? Has she become the one
you wish to be with now? Have you forgotten about the promise that you made
to me to protect me? I thought I was protecting you, by not leaving you for bait
for Pallas. I didn't know that she was watching me at the time! How was I to
know that she had taken such an intrest in me so early? I thought I was saving
your life! Do you know what had orignally happened to you?"
Marcus shrugged. "I could care less. All I know is that my bethrothed
decided to drain the blood out of me, then leave me with only two options. To die,
and never see you again, or to join Pallas, and find you somehow. I find that you
did this."
Leda shook her head, wishing that she could wipe the tears from her
eyes without smearing them all over her face. She knew that she was a mess,
but that didn't stop her.
"You listen... " She started, then looked around as she realized that
she was drawing a crowed. She flushed, then dragged Marcus over to a alley.
"You don't know what I went through. I watched you live on without me.
Then I watched Pallas capture you and have you in a cage in front of me, as if
she was serving me dinner. She knew that I was hungry, and that I wouldn't
harm anybody. She knew it. So she waited until I was at the point of starving
before she presented you before me. I thought I would save you all the pain of
what you would go through by ending your life then. I knew that you and I would
no longer be together. So, I made that choice."
Marcus snarled, though, and Leda found herself pinned aganist
the wall of the alley, with his eyes gleaming down at her with haterd. "You
murdered me, you bitch. I can't... " His eyes unfocused for a moment, as if
he had to collect his thoughts. A different emotion came into them for a moment,
and Leda could swear that she almost saw her old love in there. Somewhere
beneath all the brainwashing that Pallas had inflicted on him. Before he could
say anything though, he was violently thrown off of her by a mysterious stranger.
"So, Leda... we meet again." Leda stared with wide eyes at the tall
man that she had never seen before. His dark blue eyes pierced hers, and she
could not help shiver in the power that she felt about him, at how *old* he felt.
As if he had been around longer than her time started on the earth.
"I.. I am afraid that I don't know you, sir." She mumbled, and his
grin unnerved her. "We have met you before, Leda, but you have not yet met
us. Do not worry, the time will come when we will become better aquainted. I
never thought that we would meet in the future to become allies in the past,
though."
She looked around, trying to see the other people walking around, but
the only other person was a petite girl with long blonde hair wearing a school
uniform, looking worried at the limp man on the ground.
"Endymion.. should I take him somewhere?" She asked quietly, her
voice seeming to be for their ears alone. He looked at Leda, head titled to the
side, as if awaiting her permission of what to do with him. Her first instinct was
to leave him there. No help at all. Or else to have him taken to the doctor in this
town, and have them examine him. Find out that there wasn't something quite
human about him. Then her mind flashed to the look he had in his eyes before
Endymion had saved her.
"Take care of him, please. I have to get back. I will look for you! When
I find you, please.." Leda murmered, unsure of what to say. If what this man
said was true, then he already knew her from a prior visit. She glanced at the
girl again, who did not seem disturbed anymore by Marcus, but looked faintly
amused.
"So this is the one that was the cause of all your troubles? I wish that
we could get rid of him now." Leda glanced at her sharply, and was suddenly
overpowered by the feeling of age of this girl, too. How had she hidden it?
"I control bonds, Leda. Do not worry. You could not sense what I was,
for I did not want you to sense it. It is a power that you will develop in time. For
now, face Pallas, and let her know that she will never be able to use Marcus
aganist you again."
Leda nodded weakly as the girl lifted Marcus easily in her arms as if
he weighed no more than a small cat. She released her hold on that time,
realizing that as she drifted back, she did not know the girl's name, and perhaps
that was for the better. She faced Pallas, and held on to the hope that her luck
would change in the future. She knew now that those two could be the ones to
help her get rid of her unwanted Master.
